Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a balustrade for an escalator or a passenger conveyor such as an electric road, and particularly to a balustrade suitable for reducing weight and improving assembly accuracy.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional passenger conveyor railing was developed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-15378.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 9, the structures shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are known. This form consists of a step 1 which is arranged in an endless manner and moves, a moving handrail 2, a main body frame 3. It is equipped with a parapet 4, etc., a running support, and screws 9.
and fasteners such as nuts 10, lamps 11, sockets 12, lighting equipment such as lamp covers 13, guides 14, decks 15
It is equipped with such things as

In FIG. 4, guides 14 for guiding the moving handrail 2 are fixed to the handrail panels 5 forming both side walls of the passenger conveyor.

In addition, the supports 7 and 8 are fastened with screws 9 and nuts 10 at the notch 58 on the periphery of the parapet panel 5, and the main deck 6,
A guide 14 and a deck 15 are fixedly installed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

This conventional structure has problems such as a decrease in strength due to the cut-out 5a provided in the parapet panel 5, an increase in weight due to the use of the supports 7 and 8, which are long parts, and an increase in the weight due to the use of the supports 7 and 8, which are long parts. There are various problems that need to be resolved, such as poor assembly workability due to the heavy use of small parts.

Furthermore, the following points, which are important in terms of passenger protection, assembly accuracy, and design, are not mentioned. In other words, the structure shown in FIG.
There is no countermeasure against light leakage (ray K). This difference in level poses a safety problem in that passengers' hands and clothes get caught, and furthermore, light leakage significantly impedes the design.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a handrail for a passenger conveyor that is lightweight, improves assembly workability, and prevents the occurrence of level differences in the main deck and light leakage.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides supports fixed at fixed intervals at the upper end of the parapet panel, and a support part (groove, etc.) for fixing the main deck is provided on the upper side of the support, and the joint part of the main deck is A fixture is provided to prevent the difference in level of the main deck and light leakage, and a support portion for supporting the fixture is provided on the side of the support.

This support is attached to the top and both sides of the parapet panel on three sides with adhesive, and the main deck is attached to the top and fixings are attached to the sides. They are adhesively fixed to the upper end at appropriate intervals, and the main deck is bolted to both these supports. Furthermore, the joint 11 Z of the main deck has a fixture that engages with the inner periphery of the main deck to eliminate the difference in level.

In addition, the support tool integrally supports the main deck and the fixture.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 and 2, step 1, moving handrail 2.
The overall arrangement of the main deck 6, lamp 11, lamp cover 13, etc. is the same as the conventional one, but the balustrade 16 of the present invention has no cutout at its upper end, and the adhesive 17 is attached to the balustrade panel 17.
Support 1 in which an inverted U-shaped first groove 18A is fixed at A
8, and the head is inserted into the support part 18B (U-shaped second groove) on the upper side opposite to the first groove 18A. and the width direction W is '1
It is equipped with 8C (horizontal U-shaped groove). The fixture 20 itself is arranged so as to straddle each main deck 6 at each joint of the main deck 6, and is attached to the support 18 with bolts 21.

Here, the fixture 20 is engaged with the inner periphery of the main deck 6 and has a shape that fits into each of the main decks 6 to be joined, and also has the effect of regulating the degree of freedom in the downward direction. demonstrate,
Eliminate steps. This prevents passengers' hands and clothes from getting caught. Moreover, since this fixture 20 is provided at the joint Z of the main deck 6, it also has the function of preventing light leakage (light rays K) from the lighting equipment.

In this way, the parts that fix the upper end of the parapet panel 17 and the main deck 6 are only the short support 18, the scenic adhesive 17A, and the fasteners 19, and the number of parts, weight, and handling of the assembly work are limited. The parapet configuration requires less man-hours. Further, by providing the fixing device 20, it is possible to simultaneously prevent harmful steps on the main deck 6 and light leakage, improving accuracy and safety.

Note that the use of the adhesive 17A not only completely eliminates cuts, but also serves as a buffer between the parapet panel 17 and the support 18.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a railing for a passenger conveyor that is not only lightweight and has improved assembly workability, but also has no harmful steps or light leakage.
